Art Garfunkel - Across America

Rating:
Summary: Across America, spanning generations
Review: For the first time since 1970, Art Garfunkel has combined the writing of Paul Simon, intertwined with other song writers, in an interpreted collection from his own point of view. It is refreshing to see Mr. Garfunkel enter the limelight from his own perspective for all his fans to see. The music is vibrant and true to the original work, yet updated in a reflective and interpretive way that only Art Garfunkel could deliver. Hats off to the very best collection he has offered since the days of Simon and Garfunkel.

Summary: 2 songs less than DVD
Review: It does not include "I Will" (which is on the US cd) or "I only have eyes for you" (which is on the UK cd). It does, however, have "Cecilia", which isn't on either cd. And more banter with the audience and interview bits.

Summary: Garfunkel standing alone...with many others
Review: Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel sang together so long I initially had some difficulty getting used to either one all by himself on the stage. It's just good to see Art doing fine. Wonderful feelings ooze out while watching him "fan out" and enjoy the "openness of development of life." So skillfully pieced together in this audiovisual pleasure are the ever-lasting reminiscences he allows us of time and music shared with Paul, and his distinctive creativity now shrouded in a sense of independent perfection.

Summary: What a concert! It was so cool!
Review: This concert was so good! It was my first time of seeing Art perform (not in person) a solo concert. All the songs are really good. All the S&G classics plus his solo songs mixed in, make this video worthy of numerous viewings. You feel like you're really there in the audience. Art is witty and every word (in seriousness) is so thought-provoking. The song "Grateful", really makes you count your blessings, and makes you see how blessed your life really is in this fast-paced world we live in. You will NOT regret buying this.

Summary: Wonderful way to introduce your children to songs you love
Review: This is a family DVD for us. My children (8 and 12) love watching this concert and singing along with the songs. Heartwarming performance and wonderful sound recording. A perfect entertainment for the entire family.

Summary: Artie, the magnificent "boy singer"
Review: This is an outstanding concert. Artie's purity of voice reflects his soul! It sounds like an adult version (does adult mean anything?)of a boy singer from Westminster Abbey or Kings College. Something of an angel in the best european tradition! El Condor Pasa, with a wonderful prelude bringing to us back to our natural innocence, and Bright Eyes are superb. Bridge over trouble Water is perfect. Absolutely beautiful, Art, you really went after Plato's image of perfection.
Are you down an out? Are you loosing hope in this worl?
Please get this concert!

Review: what a voice! art's vocals have never been better and his band on this dvd offering is superb. i'd have liked to see the songs "i will" and "i only have eyes for you" included in this dvd since these were part of the concert and were included on a couple of the cd versions of this concert. oh well, it still is a keeper. especially haunting is the many visions of the world trade center. just watch art and james taylor sing "crying in the rain" against the backdrop of the twin towers....unbelievable! it is indeed a fitting tribute to our innocence and the victims who will never be forgotten. thank you artie!
